Welcome to the King County Fire District #2 website, serving the community members of Burien, Normandy Park, and North Highline. 

​Roadmap to Recovery

Gov. Jay Inslee today announced that Healthy Washington: Roadmap to Recovery will be transitioning from a regional approach to a county-by-county evaluation process. The governor also announced a new third phase of the Roadmap, a return for in-person spectators for professional and high school sports.

Effective March 22, the entire state will enter Phase 3.

Sports guidance will change in Phase 3 to allow in-person spectators at events for the first time in a year. Spectators will be allowed to attend outdoor venues with permanent seating with capacity capped at 25%. The change affects both professional and high school sports, as well as motorsports, rodeos, and other outdoor spectator events. Social distancing and facial covering are still required.

Additionally, the governor announced that starting Wednesday, March 17, everyone in Phase 1B, Tier 2 will be eligible for their COVID vaccine. This includes workers in agriculture, food processing, grocery stores, public transit, firefighters and law enforcement, among others. Phase 1B, Tier 2 also includes people over the age of 16 who are pregnant or have a disability that puts them at high-risk.

A Message from the Fire Chiefs of King County

Fire Station changes due to covid-19
To ensure the health and safety of our members and the community, King County Fire District 2 is following the CDC recommendations to address the concerns over the growing the risk of COVID-19.

The following services have been temporarily suspended:
  • Station Tours
  • CPR Classes
  • In-Station Blood Pressure Checks
  • Community use of our facilities
  • Community event participation

In an effort to flatten the curve please refrain from visiting our fire stations.  We ask that you call 9-1-1 for all medical emergencies.

Our first responders are actively responding to calls and we encourage our community to follow the CDC recommendations for preventing the spread of the COVID-19 virus.  https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-nCoV/index.html

We are monitoring the situation as it evolves and will provide updates as necessary.  Please contact the Fire Marshal for all Fire Hydrant Availability, Permits, and Fire Inspections at (206) 209-4119 or email rpettigrew@burienfire.org.

CO Alarm maintenance information
The Burien Fire District has received multiple 9-1-1 calls this year from concerned residents because of chirping carbon monoxide (CO) alarms. While it’s important to call 9-1-1 if your CO alarm is sounding continuously without stopping, a CO alarm that chirps every 30 seconds is not an emergency. It probably means your CO alarm has reached its end of life and should be replaced.

See the document attached for more information about CO Alarms, the laws regarding their use and best practices about what you should do if you hear yours chirping.

Graduation Day!

Firefighters rescue man from fire in Burien auto repair shop

On the morning of January 11th, fire crews responded to an auto shop fire in the 15200 block of First Avenue South. The quick actions of the first crew on scene as well as a fully functioning sprinkler system contributed to the rescue of one man inside. Nice work B Shift Engine 328! Here is a link to the story on KIRO 7.

fire department expands to include north highline!

After extensive contract negotiations and a vote from two separate fire commissions, the North Highline Fire District has undergone a contractual consolidation into King County Fire District #2. While North Highline Fire District still exists and maintains their own board of fire commissioners, all of their firefighters have been hired by the King County Fire District #2. The new consolidated district will provide streamlined response and chain of command for fire and emergency medical service (EMS) to areas of unincorporated King County, Burien, and Normandy Park.
